{EMPTYTAG-Length: #EmptySequence}
(mandatory in automatically generated one and multi-segment waveforms)
This tag is empty, i.e. contains no data, and is used as placeholder.
Setting parameters:
Length An ASCII integer value that specifies the number of bytes in the
EMPTYTAG, i.e. defines the number of bytes from the colon : to
the end brace }
Note: If you change the content of a waveform file, change also
the {EMPTYTAG-Length} value. For example, if you add a tag
or add bytes to a tag, reduce the length by the number of newly
introduced bytes.
EmptySequence An empty sequence containing blanks only. The number of used
blanks is calculated as the difference between the hex
addresses of the {WAVEFORM} tag and the hash sign # in the
{EMPTYTAG}.
The {WAVEFORM} tag always starts at hex address #4000.

{WAVEFORM-320017:#IQIQIQ...}
The example waveform file contains 436 (0x1b4) bytes before
the # sign in the EMPTYTAG; the hex address of the # sign is
0x1b5. The {WAVEFORM} starts at 0x4000. The EMPTYTAG con-
tains 15946 blanks and has a length of (15946+1) bytes.
Usage:
Setting only
{LEVEL OFFS: RMSOffset_dB,PeakOffset_dB}
(recommended for waveforms)
The tag determines the level of the ARB signal in the waveform file. The offset levels
define the offset of RMS and peak value relative to the 16-bit full scale modulation
(-32767 to + 32767) = 0 dB.
